GARMENT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 22, 1918.

Application filed May 4. 1918. Serial No. 232.480,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR GOLDBERG, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at New York city, county and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in clothes-hangers or racks, theobject being to provide a device of this character arranged to retain anumber of garments within a comparatively small space. A further objectis to provide a clothes-hanger arranged so that any one of a number ofgarments hung thereon can be readily seen without the necessity ofhandling each garment to move it aside. A still further object of myinvention is to provide a hanger comprising separably connected membersthat can be readily stored away and arranged, when assembled, to utilizeto the greatest advantage the space taken up by the hanger.

The manner of carrying out my invention will be hereinafter explained indetail, in connection with the drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a side viewof one form of my invention;

Fig. 2 is an end View thereof;

Fig. 3 is a side view of another form of my invention;

Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view thereof, the section being taken on aline 4-4 in Fig. 3; and

Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view, the section being taken on a line 5-5in Fig. 3.

In one embodiment of my invention, I provide an arm 6 carrying a plate 7through which screws 8 may pass into a wall 9 or other support. The arm6 carries a plurality of depending brackets or hook-members, comprisingpost-members l0, 11 and 12. The post-member 10 carries a smgle horn orhook 13, while the post-members 11 and 12 each carry a plurality ofhorns 14, 15, 16 and 17, respectively. The arm 6 is further providedwith a plurality of angularly disposed projections 18 and 19 to retamhats, for instance.

It will be seen that the horns 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 are out ofalinement and at different levels or distances from the arm 6; hence,clothes hung upon the horns will be each plainly visible from the end 20of the hanger, that is to say, when the hanger is viewed from the end,each garment can be seen and readily selected, for the reason that onewill project above the other. This is a great advantage where my hangeris used in closets, wardrobes, etc.

In the form of my invention, illustrated in Fig. 1, the arm 6, posts 10,11 and 12, together with the horns and projections 18 and 19 arepreferably integral, or in one piece.

Fig. 3 illustrates another form of my invention, comprising an arm 21carrying a plate 22 to be secured to a wall or support. In this form, Iprovide a pliirality of posts ..23-and 24 (in this instance two)carrying horns 25 and 26 and 27 a at different levels. Each post 23 and24 carries a hook-member 27 to engage the arm 21. The hook-member 27 isassociated with a plate 28 carried by each post to provide a jaw or slot29 the width of which is slightly larger than the distance between thefiat surfaces 30 and 31 of the arm 21, but less than the distancebetween the sides 32 and 33 of said arm. To apply the post to the arm,it will be posi tioned to cause the slot 29 to aline with the flatsurfaces of the arm 21, after which it can he slipped over the arm andlowered. Hence, it will be apparent that the posts cannot be prematurelyremoved from the arm 21, but must be moved vertically and thentransversely of the arm before they can be separated from said arm. Theposts can be positioned where desirable upon the arm, and as many postsmay be used as may be found necessary. The hat hangers 34 and 35, inthis form of my invention, are carried by a semi-cylindrical shoe 36carrying a pin 37 to engage openings 38 in, the arm 21. Hence, thesehangers or projections are removably retained by the arm 21 and can beshifted to different positions. One or more sets of these hat retainingprojections can be used, as is evident, and the hangers may be arfangedin suitable sizes ferent distances from said arm, but in pat- 1 With asmany posts and horns as may be allelism With the axis thereof.
